human ice maker

Chapter 691
"哐!" The sound of the door opening downstairs awakened Zhuge Huang who was in a daze, wiped the corners of his eyes, and hurriedly put the wooden box back into the big wooden box, and covered it with stacks of old clothes.

Before he could leave the door, he heard a female voice downstairs calling, "Dad, are you back?"

"Yes." Zhuge Huang came out of the room and went downstairs, and saw a 21-year-old girl who was busy putting away bags of freshly bought vegetables.This girl is not very old, but she seems more mature than her peers.The skin is fair and slightly yellowish, the figure is thin, and the facial features are beautiful but not at the level of a beauty, but there is still a bit of beauty.There is a faint brilliance of wisdom in the clever eyes, and one can tell that she is a very smart and witty woman.She was wearing a white sweater, a thin down jacket, and a pair of jeans.It was already December in the capital, and the weather outside was already very cold. She had just come back from the outside, her face and hands were slightly red from the cold.This girl is Zhuge Huang's daughter, and also the baby girl rescued at 13 years old, Zhuge Hui.

Seeing his father coming down, Zhuge Hui turned around and smiled at him, and asked, "Why did you come back so early today?"

Zhuge Huang said casually: "No business, come back early."

"Oh." Zhuge Hui responded, but didn't take it seriously, and lifted a plastic bag, shook it in front of Zhuge Huang, and said with a smile, "Look."

Zhuge Huang didn't see it through the bag for a while, and asked, "What is it?"

"Premium Longjing tea."

There was a gratified smile on Zhuge Huang's face. Although he knew that the high-quality tea his daughter mentioned was not really good tea, it was also a little affection from his daughter for his tea-loving father.

For more than 20 years, the father and daughter have been dependent on each other. It may be that the family is poor. Zhuge Hui has matured earlier than children of the same age since she was a child.When she was very young, she did all the housework, such as washing, cooking, washing dishes, and mopping the floor, by herself.Zhuge Huang, on the other hand, went out every morning and returned at sunset. The only livelihood for the father and daughter was in his little fortune-telling booth.

The only thing that comforted Zhuge Huang Laohuai was that his daughter was very sensible and lived frugally since she was a child, but even so, Zhuge Huang could only support her until she graduated from high school, and the tuition for college was really powerless. In order for her to finish high school, the family has already owed a lot of debt.Zhuge Hui didn't complain at all. After finishing high school, she took the initiative to find a job to supplement her family's income. Now she works as a waiter in a restaurant. The low monthly salary is partly for home use and partly for debt repayment. There is not much money saved on the Internet.

In today's 21st century, such a simple girl is really unimaginable, and there is no way, what kind of life makes what kind of person.Even if Zhuge Huangming knew that his daughter had always wanted a computer, he still couldn't satisfy her.

At this time, Zhuge Hui had already brought bags of vegetables into the kitchen to cook. Seeing his daughter's busy figure, Zhuge Huang hesitated for a long time before he couldn't help saying: "Xiaohui."

"Huh?" Zhuge Hui who had just lit the fire turned around and looked at him.

"Have you been very close to the Wang family recently?"

"You know all of this?" Zhuge Hui smiled and said, "Wang Tianhen, he often comes to our restaurant for dinner."

Seeing his father's expression, Zhuge Hui smiled and asked: "Dad, you are not worried about what we have, are you? I am just a good friend with him. He is quite a good person, not as rich as those rich people." Airline, and don’t like to go to high-end restaurants, but like to come to our mid-range restaurants to eat.”

Zhuge Huang nodded and said, "I don't care what kind of friends you make, but it's best not to get too close to these rich people."

"I know." Zhuge Hui waved his hand and said, "I didn't agree when he invited me to dinner last time, and he didn't mention it again after that."

Zhuge Huang sighed, he knew that his daughter was very sensible, and he didn't need to worry about her affairs.And from what his daughter said, this Wang Tianhen is indeed a good person. After all, even those aristocratic families may not all be arrogant and domineering people. It is not realistic to kill a whole boat with one shot, and he believes in his daughter This vision is still there.It's just that Zhuge Huang doesn't want his daughter or himself to have anything to do with these rich families, especially those from the three major families.

"By the way, Xiaohui." Zhuge Huang said: "I will go out in two days, and I may not come back for a while."

Hearing this, Zhuge Hui stopped what she was doing, and said in a daze, "Where are you going?"

Since childhood, my father has never left home for a day, and it has never even happened that he does not return home at night.It is inevitable that Zhuge Hui will be surprised when he suddenly said that he would leave for a few days.

Zhuge Huang hesitated for a moment, but said truthfully, "I may have news about your brother..."

"Bang!" The spatula in Zhuge Hui's hand fell, his mouth opened in disbelief.After a long time, she said stutteringly: "My brother, he..."

Zhuge Huang nodded, with a bitter look on his face, and said softly, "Maybe it's still there."

Zhuge Hui covered his mouth, not feeling that his eyes were already red.She knew she had a twin brother, but there had been no news for more than 20 years.In fact, Zhuge Huang didn't tell her about his son's death. He only said that she had a younger brother who had disappeared since childhood.

After a long time, Zhuge Hui calmed down a little and asked, "Dad, do you know where my brother is?"

Zhuge Huang nodded, shook his head again, and said with a wry smile: "I probably know a little bit, so I want to find him."

"I'll accompany you too."

"No, no." Zhuge Huang quickly shook his head and said, "You stay at home obediently and don't go anywhere."

Zhuge Hui said anxiously: "But Dad..."

Zhuge Huang sighed and said: "You won't be able to help if you go, and besides, I don't know where he is now, so I have to ask someone."

"Who are you looking for? Who knows the whereabouts of my brother?"

Zhuge Huang waved his hand and said, "Don't ask, I don't want you to participate in this matter."

Zhuge Hui looked at him for a while, and saw that there seemed to be an unspeakable secret between his father's eyebrows. He hesitated for a moment, nodded helplessly and said, "Okay. Then when are you leaving?"

"Today, I'll leave after dinner with you."

Zhuge Hui thought for a while, and took out a handful of change from his pocket, most of which were five yuan and ten yuan, and most of them were in denominations of ten yuan.This hand full of change seems to be quite a lot, but the sum is only about two or three hundred yuan.Zhuge Hui handed over the change and said, "Dad, you can keep the money."

"No need." Zhuge Huang shook his hand and said, "I still have it with me."

"Take it." Zhuge Hui obstinately stuffed all the money into his father's pocket, and said: "You have to be careful on the way, you know? It's best if you find your younger brother. If you really can't find it... come back early."

Zhuge Huang couldn't help laughing. The tone of the daughter's speech to him was not like that of a daughter to her father, but rather like that of a mother to her son.

Sighing, Zhuge Huang patted her on the shoulder and said, "Hurry up and cook, I'll leave after eating. These days you are at home alone at night, remember to lock the door."

"En." Zhuge Hui responded lightly, picked up the spatula and cleaned it again, and then continued cooking.It's just that Zhuge Hui was in a trance and didn't even notice that the vegetables were burnt because he was too excited to hear the news about his younger brother, or because he was worried about the safety of his father who was about to go far away.

Two hours later, Zhuge Huang simply tidied up under his daughter's thousands of instructions, carried an old backpack and went out.

At the same time he stepped out of the door, he was inside a hidden villa in the suburbs of Beijing.

Liu Dao hung up the phone with a faint smile on his face, but his smile always made people feel very dangerous.Looking at 13 who was sitting on the sofa next to him and playing with the dagger, Liu Dao said, "He's come out."

"Hmm." Thirteen seemed not to take it seriously, and responded casually.

Liudao got up and walked to the bar, took out a goblet, added a little red wine, shook the glass lightly in his hand, and said: "Everything is as I expected, if there is no accident, our fate will soon be the same. acted."

13 raised his head, glanced at him, then lowered his head again and asked, "Can he find 11?"

"Sure, if he hasn't become hopelessly decadent." Liu Dao seemed to enjoy drinking a sip of red wine, licked his lips and said, "Don't forget that we deliberately arranged for 11 to meet him once, As long as he still has the heart, he will definitely have an impression of 11. Now that Xu, Wang, and Yang are all looking for the whereabouts of 11, it is not difficult for Zhuge Huang to find clues. Of course, if he is still the same as Zhuge Suan back then The emperor's words."

At this time, Long Wei's voice suddenly sounded in the hall: "I don't quite understand, Liu Dao, why do you have to ask Zhuge Huang to find 11?"

"If there is no 11, Zhuge Huang will definitely not come out again. But in my plan, he is an indispensable part, so he must come out again."

"why?"

"Because..." Liu Dao had a playful smile on his face: "Zhuge Huang is a foreshadowing that Wentian bought and planted with his own life."

Long Wei said suspiciously: "I don't quite understand."

"You don't need to understand." Liu Dao said, "Just follow my arrangement."

Speaking of this, Liu Dao's eyes suddenly revealed a frantic expression: "From tomorrow on, the whole capital will be very exciting. Look, the whole world will remember this day. Hehehehe..."

Liu Daoyin's side-to-side laughter sounded in the hall, and it didn't stop for a long time. 13 is still fiddling with his dagger, that dreadful blood brake.
